Alex, I bought some clear "Shoe Goo" from the local sporting goods store. It's similar to "Seam Grip" which I think is polyurethane, not silicone. I spread it on the inside of my (formerly goretex) spray skirt using an old credit card. It worked fine, was low cost and doesn't smell bad after it dries. The down side to this is too much folding / flexing makes it leak. Another approach would be to make a waterproof bag to insert inside your deck bag. This could be sealed with "Shoe Goo" or instead use waterproof, heat-sealable nylon. The advantage here is this inner bag can be discarded and replaced after a season or two if it starts to leak. >I want to make a so-so waterproof deck-bag out of old day-pack. Is there > anything in liquid or spray that works, and not too exotic Cheers, Bill *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
